Hah! Good advice, thanks guys. I'll start over. Actually I spoke to the guy and he wants to stick with the opposing P's in his initial design. Back to the drawing board!

Hi people. I was up late, good morning. OK here are a few modifications using your suggestions. Outlined the text, change font on the tagline, faced the man in, reduced his muscle size. Thoughts? Notes: The muscle man is creating opposing P's with his arms. That was a design que...

Here is another few tweaks.

Hi guys. I was playing a little and wanted some suggestions for this personal trainer that I'm doing a logo for. I'm posting his current logo and my design.

Thanks for all the advice/suggestions guys. OK, so the foam core/board that I was provided by the customer had a paper face, not a vinyl face. I'm sorry I didn't say that earlier. Can you mount vinyl to a paper faced foam core? I used 3M super77 and it seemed to work pretty good. I...

Sure I can. I didn't know that it would do a better job. From now on I'll go that way. Are there any tips for working with foam core? Can you adhere vinyl to it?

Maybe to clarify, I initially tried to print this job in vinyl, but it was a nightmare getting it mounted to foam core, so I went back to printing on coated paper, using spray adhesive to mount the paper to the foam core and laminating that. What other options could I have tried?

Hi guys. I've been in art printing for some time, mostly canvas and watercolor reproductions. Now I've taken the plunge into vinyl printing and some signage, so I'm looking for some advice on what to use and when. I was asked to mount (3) 30"x40" images to foam core which was provided by...

If you photograph something that you want to use for design, you need to use the proper zoom (magnification) to minimize distortion of the image. For example you do not want to zoom to a cameras widest angle setting as this will cause problems. On a 35mm camera you want about 50mm lens...

Yes if you can't beat 'em... I should say what I have posted is the shpeel they are giving the installer that would install at the dealer. They may have a different shpeel they are giving wrap shops.

You don't think 3M is trying to sign up GM? This program was just announced. For the moment, some will think that far ahead and others won't. There is definently room here for the independent sign shop to continue to function.

One thing it appears they need are companies to start training installers. They are outsourcing this to 3M certified distributors now. There are not many locations certifying installers at this point. An installer gets certified in a 4 step or "star" process which progressively qualifies you...

But remember that the dealer is working from an online computer driven template program. They are not designing in the true sense, but choosing from probably thousands of themes and just entering the text in the given fields. If you are a large wealthy shop and want to compete, start looking...

This may explain a bit more about how it works. It would seem to favor the individual installer over the shop. It seems to take the shop out of the equation. In essence the dealership becomes the shop. My feeling is that when this program gets established the dealer will take over...

Wow it's like suddenly color theory trumped the poster. Ask your printer if you can get a copy of their output icc profile for the media they will be printing on. Have them email it to you. Soft proof your image in Photoshop using their icc profile and see for yourself what kind of color you...

Adhesive Removal - citrus based cleaner. Prep - Maybe something like 3M Prep Solvent 70 followed by alcohol and toweled off.

They paid him not to talk about it... Of course.
